O'Brien's Pub, Shakopee, Minnesota

I was in Shakopee for a work trip and we spent the day in the Shakopee Public Library. So first off, that is a beautiful public building, and we were able to really enjoy being there. It is just a couple of blocks from this restaurant, which looks very much like your usual bar, kind of dark inside, and not much to recommend it, other than that we were a group of about 15 and they happily seated us together, and provided us with seperate checks--with a QR code to pay by, so no having to wait for the whole crew of us to sort through our bills. You can pay traditionally, but this was a huge plus with a big crowd. But that is not why I am compelled to write this review--someone amongst us mentioned that they smoke their own meat, and so after having endures a very mediocre pastrami sandwich earlier in the week, I boldly ordered a corned beef sandwich on a pretzel roll and oh my goodness, it was perfect. The meat was delicious, replete with a deliciously smoky flavor but oh so moist. And with great mustard! I subbed out the fries for a wedge salad--which was enormous, almost a lunch in itself, and I would definitely go back.
